  3. The perpetrators deserve life in prison without parole.

  5. I don’t really approve of a lot of what Israel has done in Palestine this past year, but I really fucking hate how it’s just given antisemites around the world an excuse to act like it’s the 1920s. Like those dipshits that vandalized an Anne Frank memorial.

  7. Sadly our Labor government is too scared of pissing off the Muslim voting block so Albonese and his government have been ignoring the rising tide of antisemitism in the country.

    Unless we get strong leadership here things are going to get worse. All we get from him is empty rhetoric (When we even get that) and actions that embolden the antisemites.

  8. Just more of a reason why Israel needs to exist, if jews aren’t safe in other countries, they need their own.

  9. Can’t wait for these idiots to be arrested. Hopefully charged under more than just property damage, this has to be a hate crime or terrorism surely.

    Being Australia though, I’m prepared for it to be a couple of shitty-arsed little nobodies who just read bad internet forums. Our terrorists don’t tend to be very organised, connected, or smart.

  10. Let’s be honest, Reddit endorses and encourages acts like this. And I’m sick of people pretending they don’t.

  11. This has made national news here in Australia (and now international news too) yet appears to be getting removed from /r/australia.

    The sub has taken a pretty hard pro Palestine turn in the past 12 months but it would seem they’re now suppressing news about incidents like this too?

    Edit: Looks like they’re allowing one article about it now…. 9 hours after the media first picked it up. The thread has also been locked and most of the comments deleted.

  12. Australia is 12,200 kilometers from from Israel, but sure, this is just “antizionism”

  13. Reprehensible. Whatever people’s views on what’s happening in the Middle East right now, there should be absolutely zero tolerance for this kind of behaviour.

  17. For people crying about islamophobia they sure do a good job lumping everyone else from one religion together and actively harassing and attacking them.

  18. Heartbreaking. Straight up terrorism of civilians. 💔

  20. Once again demonstrating why Israel exists and should continue to exist.

    These anti-semites do everything in their power to make Jews feel threatened everywhere and then bitch about why the Jews feel they need their own separate state as a refuge.

    Congratulations, you played yourselves

  21. Burning down synagogues are surely gonna help Palestine!

  22. *”clearly aimed at creating fear in the community”.*

    Just that? Not.. I don’t know, attempted murder in the community?

  23. We can’t keep living like this anymore. I hate it here.

  24. Horseshoe theory has never been more visible than the joining of hands of the far right and far left in their open hatred of the jews in recent months.
